Poverty is a condition of someone that trapped in a vicious cycle of poverty and does not have the ability to break the cycle. They need an intervention from the authorities, such as government policy, which can help someone get out of the poverty trap. Until 2018, Kokap District is still one of the biggest poverty pockets in the Special Region of Yogyakarta (DIY) ). Thus, further studies need to be done to assess the effectiveness of poverty alleviation policies implemented in Kokap District. The method used in this study is the Delphic Hierarchy Process (DHP). The Delphi method will be used to weight the evaluation criteria in evaluating poverty alleviation policies, while AHP is used to assess the importance of poverty alleviation policies. Weighting the policy evaluation criteria gives the result that the criteria for human assets and the sustainability of economic aspects of the poor are the criteria with the highest weight. While the assessment of the level of importance of the policy provides the result that social assistance policies are still a priority in Kokap District. In addition, this study found that the policy with a high and medium priority level is a policy whose implementation is integrated from the central government to regional governments.

Abstract

Banyumanik District is a new growth center that tends to develop towards the suburbs. The development of a new growth center was followed by an increasing population in Banyumanik District and is currently dominated by the productive age population. The more developed Banyumanik District, the more needs that must be met, such as transportation. It is seen from the number of productive age population in Banyumanik District while the activity center is in the center of Semarang City. Trans Semarang is a public transportation that is provided to fulfill the needs of the citizen for transportation, but until now it still has a small number of enthusiasts, as seen from the average load factor rate of 45.72%. Accessibility to shelters is very important in the operation of Trans Semarang because Trans Semarang is a closed public transportation system. The purpose of this research is to find out the conditions of accessibility and the level of accessibility of shelter according to perspective of productive age population in Banyumanik District. The analytical tools used are scoring and descriptive statistics. The results of the analysis showed that the accessibility level of shelters in Banyumanik District is divided into 3 levels, namely Level V, Level VI, and Level VII but overall Banyumanik District falls into Level VI with a score of 92.14. This means that the accessibility of shelters is moderate but tends to be bad based on each condition forming the accessibility factor for the shelter.

Abstract

Urban conservation in development planning is a form of maintaining the city's heritage. It will be difficult and important to discuss about urban conservation, especially in small cities that have historical heritage. Urban conservation can?t be separated from a regulation, because it is the main thing of conservation planning. Existing policies must be able to accommodate mechanisms to balance conservation sustainability in the short and long term. In addition, urban conservation policies should be a tool that can control cultural heritage. This is the basis for reviewing policy documents relating to urban conservation as one of the terms of reference for development and activities in Lasem. The purpose of this study is to evaluate conservation policies in Lasem, Rembang Regency. The analytical method used is the Delphic Hierarchy Process (DHP) and descriptive statistical analysis. The results of the evaluation can be seen that the most important conservation policies are at the National level. With the existence of this research, it is expected to be considered in the formulation of conservation policies in Lasem, Rembang Regency.

Abstract

Urbanisation process in Joglosemar region of Central Java has more or less affected the size of paddy field. Data from CSB (Central Statistical Board) estimate that during the last decade the land used for rice field has declined around 5,424 hectares. At the same time the number of people living in urban areas has increased by around 3 million people. If the conversion of rice field continues, it will likely to have an impact on food security for the region as well as its neighboring areas. This research aims to analyse the factors that contribute to the change in paddy field production areas in Joglosemar region. The research applies quantitative method to analyse the rate of conversion by using linier regression technique. Based on the analysis, it is found that the average rate of rice field conversion is 0.24% per year while the main cause of the conversion is the urbanization process. It is also found that the industrialisation process and land productivity have insignificant contribution to the conversion process. From the findings, it can be estimated that if the urbanization rate reaches 4.64% annually as it happens recently, in the next decade until 2030 Joglosemar region will experience deficit of rice supply.

Abstract

Central Java economic development has been dynamic and diverse. The economy of the region has grown gradually and experienced structural transition. The regional economy which was originally based on the primary sector has transformed to a more modern one which the secondary and tertiary sectors start to dominate the economy. While the growth of the regional economy is widely believed to be caused mainly by exogenous factors, there has been tendency the emergence of local economic factors. This research aims to examine the possible relationship between economic transition and the persistence of local economic development factors among districts in Central Java. This study applies quantitative descriptive analysis combining the methods of scoring analysis, weighted analysis and correlation analysis together to explore the relationship. The research shows that in general there is positive relationship between economic growth and local economic development indicators. This result can contribute to fostering local factors as part of regional and local economic development policies for the region.

These phenomena will be continue to emerge that influence in the direction of urban space which is arranged by the government in a process and a product of spatial planning. The research about local values in spatial planning use The Grounded Theory approach was successfully finds local values that formed from the interaction of society with the aspects of localities , including community perceptions for the threat of Merapi Mountain , their love as Javanese, the faith value that hidden on stone carving art, mina lumping art, and tolerance and harmony among diverences of religions in Muntilan?s society.
